Rose Wylie

RUSSELL TOVEY AND ROBERT DIAMENT
About this episode
Russell & Robert meet painter Rose Wylie, one of their all-time art heroes, at her Kent home-studio where she’s painting for a New York solo show opening later this year at David Zwirner. We discuss the impact of film on her painting including Gus Van Sant, why the early paintings of Cezanne are the greatest, painting people she respects such as Serena & Venus Williams, alchmey bottles, helping frogs cross the road, wild roses and letting your garden grow free. We learn about her longterm working relationship with Jari Lager & Union Gallery (now Choi & Lager) and her respect for artists such as Tal R, Alida Cervantes, Sam Doyle, Faith Ringgold, Kerry James Marhsall, Neo Rauch, David Hockney and Katherine Bernhardt.
